All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Great time, good people, beautiful views and an awesome experience!!!

I was disappointed by the coral and fish more than I expected. Was it due to the environment? Perhaps because it was mid-March, the water was cold, and I could only manage to stay in for about 20 minutes.

思うほど珊瑚も魚も残念感がありました。
環境のせいでしょうか
3月の中旬ということもあるのか水も冷たくて20分ぐらい入っているのが精一杯でした。

I would definitely recommend this tour to families, our boys really enjoyed themselves.

We had the best time ever with this snorkeling adventure. My husband doesn't really like snorkling but does it just for me. With our new personal snorkel gear and the fantastic friendly crew , he said this was the first time he enjoyed it. The weather was perfect and the turtles were amazing. We will definitely use Moana catamaran next time we come to Honolulu.

I have enjoyed snorkeling abroad before, but I have never encountered so many fish in such a clear cove; it was a valuable experience. The entrance tickets are so popular that they are hard to reserve, but the convenience of a tour is appealing.

今まで、海外でシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、透明度の高い入江でこれほどまで多くの魚に出会えたことがなく、貴重な体験でした。入場チケットも予約が取れないほど人気な場所ですが、ツアーならではの楽ちんさが魅力的です。

This activity was great our guide was knowledgeable in all things from the horses themselves to the whales and turtles in the ocean! The horses were well mannered and well kept! And the ride was just long enough. We rode on and close to the beach with clear views of the ocean, whales breaching and turtles popping up! Our guide even did a photo shoot for us!

This place was amazing we had so much fun. Thank you Mickey for awesome time. I would recommend going I would definitely got back again and again

My son wanted to go parasailing, so we participated. Since we were staying at Modern Honolulu, it was great that the meeting place was nearby. We arrived before the scheduled time, checked in, and left right away. We flew in pairs one after another. Our reservation was at 3:30 PM, but we were back by 4 PM; it was over in no time.

息子がパラセーリングがしたいということで参加しました。モダンホノルルに宿泊していたので、集合場所が近くてよかったです。時間前にいくと受付してすぐに出発。順番に2人ずつ飛びます。15時30分からの予約でしたが、16時には戻ってきてあっという間でした。

The ATV tour at North Shore Stables was so much fun. If you like getting off of the beaten path and experiencing a local spot to relax and have fun the make sure to book a tour here. The guides were excellent, friendly and I felt like they appreciated us being there. They gave us a little bit of history about the area we were in and what they are doing with the land. This was unexpected and added a bit of a personal touch to the tour. I thought 45 mins was going to be too short but at the end I realized it was perfect. Enough time to have fun, but not boring or grueling by the time we got back. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who likes to get out and see more of the local scene when in Oahu.

Loved this trip! My group and I had the BEST time. Loved the floating platform for hanging out, having some drinks, dancing (we brought our own waterproof speaker).

Some of our group also liked trying the stand up paddleboarding (though noted the area you're allowed to go in is pretty small) and the snorkling.

Would definitely recommend for a big group, such an easy way to get everyone out to the sandbar and enjoy the stunning turquoise waters. We did it as part of our wedding week with guests.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

Beautful sunset view from the top deck; great food and entertainment. The best part by far was the Jazz Ensemble! At the end, the cast and servers did an amazing ‘hula hula’ version of YMCA. The group loved it.

I had some worries about the activities abroad, but the receptionist was kind to international travelers, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

海外のアクティビティーで心配もありましたが、受付のお姉さんが海外の旅行者にも優しく、安心して楽しめました。

My 9-year-old child and husband participated! I was unfortunately unable to join because of my 2-year-old daughter, but my son said that one of the most fun things he experienced this time was flying in the sky. I think it was a very good experience for him. I was worried about the plan until just before, and I made the reservation in the middle of the night on the day of the event, but it was great that I could book smoothly. Also, since we stayed at Hilton, it was convenient to be close to the meeting point!

9歳の子供と夫が参加しました！
2歳の妹がいる為、私は参加できず残念でしたが、息子がこの度で1番楽しかったことの中に、空を飛んだこと。と言っていたのでとても良い経験になったのだと思います。
直前までプランに悩んでいて、当日の夜中に予約しましたが、スムーズに予約できたのも良かったです。
また、ステイ先もヒルトンだったので、集合に近く便利でした！

Although it was a very cloudy, overcast day, the staffing crew still made the trip a lot of fun.

We had the best time. Brought our grandkids ages 10 and 12 and they were entertained the entire time. I highly recommend this luau. The food was good much variety. It was a little chilly so bring a sweater. They had activities in the beginning also.

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.

Must see when in Hawaii it’s about a 20 minute boat ride out to the sandbar and there’s few companies have monopoly on it. However, they do make it enjoyable and relaxing. They have stand up paddle boards and kayaks for use but it’s only a small area you can go. This is just for relaxing and viewing Hawaii from a really beautiful location. Snorkeling isn’t the best because you’re only able to see a few fish. So what they could do better… selling or including drinks onboard. You have to bring everything with you although if you pay the fee you receive a bag of chips, a sandwich and juice/water. I didn’t like that we had to wear a life vest to snorkel, but maybe it’s to protect the coral so you don’t stand on it. Other than that the live music was awesome and everyone had fun.

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing on the same day in the afternoon, and I challenged myself at the final slot (5:00 PM)! Everything from the reservation to the guidance on-site was smooth, and it became an unforgettable experience. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication, but I think it's easier to get sick while moving on the small boat than when flying, so I recommend taking medication if you're worried about it. I definitely want to do it again!

思い立って当日の午後予約、最終（17:00）でパラセイリングにチャレンジしました！予約から現地での案内まで全てスムーズで、一生忘れられない体験となりました。私は船酔いしやすいので酔い止めの薬を服用しましたが、飛んでいる時よりも小型船で移動している時の方が酔いやすいかと思うので、心配な方は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。
また是非やりたいです！

Embarking on the snorkeling and kayaking adventure at Sanbar was an unforgettable experience that truly encapsulated the essence of exploring nature's underwater marvels while enjoying the serene beauty of the open waters. The crystal-clear waters offered an unobstructed view of vibrant marine life and mesmerizing coral formations, making the snorkeling experience nothing short of magical. Each moment spent underwater felt like being in a different world, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and life.

The kayaking segment of our adventure was equally impressive. Paddling through the calm waters with the sun casting a golden hue over the landscape was incredibly peaceful and allowed for a unique perspective of the Sanbar's picturesque coastline. The kayaks were well-maintained and easy to maneuver, making the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional guidance and support from the staff. Their expertise and passion for the marine environment were evident, as they pointed out interesting flora and fauna, ensuring we didn't miss any of the hidden gems beneath the waves or along the shore.

Overall, the snorkeling and kayaking experience at Sanbar is a must-do for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, whether underwater or gliding on the surface. It's an ideal adventure for those seeking tranquility, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

The tour guide KAAKA was full of spirit and made it incredibly enjoyable! The scenery was beautiful, and they took a lot of photos for us!

添乗員のKAAKA？がサービス精神旺盛で最高に楽しめました！
景色もいいし、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました！

The raptor tour at the ranch and the guides where so much fun and would love to do it again.

The transportation is a while nother issue. We needed to be to the bus pick up by 815 to check in for our 830 departure. Was told at pick up no food or drinks on the bus so we thought we could eat when we got there.

Bus left at 830 and arrived at 920 where we where kept in the bus for another 10 plus min for no reason given to us. A bus that had no working bathroom. When released we where told we had to gather for a briefing and couldn't use the restroom or we'd miss it itinerary.

Spent another 10 min for everyone on the bus to get a paper with their activities printed on it. Then we where lead into the ranch and briefed on every actively before being turned loose with just enough time to go-to the bathroom and report for our your at 1015.

After the two hour tour (great time) we had barley enough time to wash and get back on the bus. We where hungry and wanted to eat and shop for souvenirs but instead had to wait till we got back to our hotel at 2pm

No eating 8am to 2pm
Would have spent at least another $100 on food and gifts if given the time. Would never take their transportation again. Find your own way!

Until I reached the top, I felt as if I was slipping down from my backside while shouting, but once I got to the top, I was able to enjoy a wonderful view of Diamond Head and the ocean in the distance. It was thrilling and fun!

上がりきるまではお尻からすり抜け落ちる様な感覚で
叫びながら上がりましたが、上がりきった先には、
遠くをみるとダイヤモンドヘッドや海の
素晴らしい景色が展望出来ました。スリルも味わい楽しかったです♪

The tour guides were great! Very informative and funny. We did get soaking wet due to the weather but man was it worth it! We had a great experience! We stopped a few time to take pictures and talk about the history. The guides were very informative. They also talked about different movies that were made there.Highly recommended!

It's great to have a friendly trainer and the opportunity to try surfing many times. They teach you carefully, and there are some who can speak Japanese, which is reassuring. I feel that the number of times you can try is very appealing.

気さくなトレーナーの方と、たくさん波にトライできるのが最高に良い。丁寧に教えてくださるし、日本語が話せる方もいるので安心です。トライできる回数が多いのが魅力だと感じます。

It was a beautiful experience, lots and fun activities to do and the boat crew were super friendly!! We would definitely do it again, we had so much fun!! Thank you!

It was the coolest thing to do! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but loved it. Getting that close to the fish underwater. Amazing.

Although it's called a sandbar, it seems that it only becomes a sandy beach for a few days a year.

In the deepest part, it's about 1 meter deep, I think.

It's nice to be able to enjoy relaxed marine leisure activities in the sea.

There were also some foreigners who brought beer and other drinks (on boats and floating islands).

It doesn't feel like marine sports, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely while taking in the beautiful scenery.

サンドバーとはいうものの、実際に砂浜になるのは年数日だそうです。

１番深い所で1メートルくらいかな？

海の中で、ゆるめのマリンレジャーができるのは良いです。

外国の方はビール等を持ち込んで飲んでいる人もいました（船や浮島で）


マリンスポーツという感じではないので、良い景色を見ながらゆる～く楽しめました。

This is not a review but rather information.

We participated with one male (85kg) and two females (50kg each). We flew together as a group of three. Requests for specific combinations cannot be made in advance. I think if there are about 2-3 people, you can generally fly together (depending on the total weight). The meeting place is a small hut about the size of two tatami mats.

- There is no transportation provided, so it's advisable to consider how to get there. It was within walking distance to the pink trolley.

- A voucher (displayed on your smartphone is fine).

- It might be helpful to have a translation app at the reception. They spoke the bare minimum of Japanese on the boat, so it was manageable.

- Changing clothes is not possible, so it's better to arrive wearing your swimsuit. There doesn't seem to be a place to change around the reception area.

- You can take photos during the flight with your smartphone, but since you will get wet, it's advisable to take waterproof measures.

- I wore glasses, and there were no particular issues. However, if they are loose, it might be dangerous.

- At the reception, you just need to show your voucher to the person inside the hut. Each participant will sign a waiver. You will need to write your name in kanji, your name in English, and the date (month/day/year). They will guide you on where to write.

- They will take photos for you. After the flight, you can view the photos at the reception, and if you like them, you can buy the SD card for $40. Card payments are accepted.

- You will need to place your belongings and shoes under the seat before flying. You might get a little wet from splashes, but you won't get soaked.

- Regarding the theft of personal belongings, it seems safe if multiple groups are participating. Given the environment, it's difficult for someone to sneakily rummage through bags under the seats.

- The clothes you are wearing (swimsuits) and items you carry while flying will get wet, so it's a good idea to have a towel.

- Cancellations depend on the weather (not just rain, but also wind and waves). If flying is not possible, they seem to offer refunds or rescheduling for another day. (In my case, half of the flights were canceled.)

We had an amazing time. It was a really easy process from boarding and check in to the snorkeling to getting back to the dock. We got to see lots of fish and turtles. Anna and Zane were super helpful in making us feel comfortable especially since this was our first time snorkeling, I would recommend this especially if you are a first timer, we had a great time and really enjoyed every second of it
